The winding river and the varying countryside is incredibly peaceful and beautiful and is a perfect retreat for those looking to disconnect and relax. The river has its origin near Orange and is also fed into by many springs. Weandre Creek runs in the backcountry and winds into the Bell River. Our comfortable Hut is situated on an elevated spot looking down on the river with a graduated road leading down. It has everything you need for a relaxing, recharging stay in nature.

Each campsite has its own unique outlook—some are tucked away for those chasing solitude, while others are perfect for groups wanting to share the experience. All sites are self-contained, and we kindly ask guests to leave the place as they found it. Pack out what you pack in—take only photographs and leave only footprints. There’s nothing quite like a campfire to bring people together. So bring your marshmallows, your favourite drinks, and your best stories—or dancing boots, if that’s more your vibe. Firewood is available and fires are allowed in designated areas only, pending local fire restrictions. Wildlife lovers, you’re in for a treat. Eastern Grey kangaroos, Swamp wallabies, and even the majestic Wallaroo often make an appearance and if you’re lucky, you might catch a glimpse of the Red-necked wallaby. By night, the Common wombat comes out for a graze and spotlighting campers may see possums and owls in the trees. Please respect our wild locals and ensure all dogs are kept on lead. Just 7 minutes down the road is Small Batch Brewery—a local favourite for craft beer lovers—and the iconic Cooyal Pub is within easy reach. Of course, Mudgee’s renowned wineries are right around the corner, waiting to be explored. Frog Rock Hideaway is your perfect base to unwind, reconnect, and soak up the best of country NSW.

Maalaabidi is a clothing-optional farm stay with a cabin, camping (limited power to some sites), an old hanger rec area with coffee bar, camp kitchen, antique machinery display, and a private 900mtr airstrip. You'll find great views and magical sunrises, a communal campfire, camp kitchen, hot showers, and toilets. Enjoy the recreation area where you can listen to music, get a real barista coffee or just sit around the campfire in the evening and look at the stars (we are in the astronomy capital of Australia). By day, stroll through the bush and enjoy the wildlife and wildflowers or take a drive to the many local attentions like the Warrumbungle National Park, The Sandstone Caves (a local Aboriginal significant site), Pilliga Pottery, or Crystal Kingdom. Whilst we are a clothing-optional venue, don't be discouraged if you are not one to bare all, just come with an open mind that is respectful of the choices and individuality of others.

Nestled in the peaceful locality of Frog Rock, only 15 minutes from the charming rural town of Mudgee, this property offers a true country escape with front-row seats to nature’s evening show - Roos, wombats, views, sunsets and starry nights. Each campsite has its own unique outlook—some are tucked away for those chasing solitude, while others are perfect for groups wanting to share the experience. All sites are self-contained, and we kindly ask guests to leave the place as they found it. Pack out what you pack in—take only photographs and leave only footprints. There’s nothing quite like a campfire to bring people together. So bring your marshmallows, your favourite drinks, and your best stories—or dancing boots, if that’s more your vibe. Firewood is available and fires are allowed in designated areas only, pending local fire restrictions. Wildlife lovers, you’re in for a treat. Eastern Grey kangaroos, Swamp wallabies, and even the majestic Wallaroo often make an appearance and if you’re lucky, you might catch a glimpse of the Red-necked wallaby. By night, the Common wombat comes out for a graze and spotlighting campers may see possums and owls in the trees. Please respect our wild locals and ensure all dogs are kept on lead. Just 7 minutes down the road is Small Batch Brewery—a local favourite for craft beer lovers—and the iconic Cooyal Pub is within easy reach. Of course, Mudgee’s renowned wineries are right around the corner, waiting to be explored. Frog Rock Hideaway is your perfect base to unwind, reconnect, and soak up the best of country NSW.

2 nights at Cadagi Farm Stay in Central West NSW
Very private, safe and quiet property, just outside Dubbo town centre. Excellent spot to base yourself for a walk around town, exploring the Goal, and the zoo! Both of which are excellent. Site 1 is the biggest for large set ups, but we managed site 2 well with our NPS truck and 19’6” van. Great of you are taring with dogs.

Our stay was amazing and one of the best experiences our group has shared. Hosts Brian and Vicky were warm, welcoming, from arrival to departure. The space was set up with care and looked beautiful. Meeting Lucy, the pet deer, added a special touch and brought plenty of smiles. This place suits a peaceful getaway from city life, with nature all around and a clear night sky offering a truly magical view.
